Hi
folks. I am Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through The Matrix on
December the 21st 2011. For newcomers, help yourself to the
web site cuttingthroughthematrix.com
and hopefully youíll get shortcuts to understanding this big massive system
weíre going through, complete globalism of course. And the foundations,
the organizations all work together to bring it about, and many of their
propagandists who wrote their books for them and belonged to these societies
themselves. And they did, from even the late 1800s onwards, put out a lot
of information on the future world, the world that they wanted to bring
in, and at that time they were so enraptured by science that they believed a
scientific society was the best type to have, where youíre ruled by
experts. And thatís really where we are today.

So
help yourself to those audios and get the shortcuts to understanding. At the same time remember too, you are the audience that
bring me to you. You can help me keep going by buying the books and disks
at cuttingthroughthematrix.com web site. [Order and donation options
listed above.] And donations are really awfully welcome at all times.
All my sites carry the audios and they carry transcripts in English of a lot of
the talks Iíve given and if you want transcripts in other languages go into alanwattsentientsentinel.eu
and help yourself to the variety offered there.

What
I try to do, as I say, is chronicle events as we go through them. It
brings to memory an article in the paper quite a few years back where one of
the oldest men in the world, about 115 he was, in Mexico, committed
suicide. And in his suicide note Ė and this is genuine Ė he said he was
so sick of seeing the same stories in the newspapers, the same promises by
politicians, the same corruption go on generation after generation and he
didnít see anything to look forward to. Well weíre almost at that stage
today because everything is propaganda, special interest groups and again, the
big organizations that are bringing us all to this new reality, this new
globalist and globalized system. You always get the children at school
and you take it from there and that way theyíll grow up into what they think is
quite normal. We all do. Weíve all done it before. And
generation by generation. Whatever exists when youíre born is normal to
you, even though big changes may have happened during your parentsí lifetime
and they seldom speak about them. We take everything for granted, thatís
cultural, everything for granted whatever it happens to be. Weíre so
easily trained. But today with all the experts working on our heads, our
minds, propaganda, indoctrination at school, movies, general television, we
have perception management as they call it. And everything today is perception
management. Not reality. Itís how itís presented to you and that
gives you your perceptions and you think you know all about it then, whatever
the item or topic happens to be.

As
I say, the big organizations that started this movement towards globalism had
decided in the 1800s that they would not let Germany come up to the pinnacle
point and they actually, the same group caused the Boer War. Itís in
their own histories actually that they brought on the Boer War and blamed it on
the Dutch so they could grab all the gold and the diamonds really of southern
Africa, as they expanded. And they also, from the late 1800s, were
fomenting the propaganda for a war which ended up being World War I with
Germany. Quite an amazing group. Even Churchill condemned it when
he found out the impact it had on the British history; this same group even had
all their authors writing the history for each generation of school children.
What a racket, eh? Thereís planning for you, and coordination. Back
with more after this break.

Hi
folks, Iím back and Cutting Through The Matrix. Science is a big thing of
course and science you might think is independent, but itís not really because
all funding generally comes from government, for any big project today, and it
has been for a long time; roads, everything, is big projects. And private
investors are really unwilling to go into it in case they come out with a dud
or they lose. So when government gets on board with anything they direct
where funding goes. They can also collect funding from private
foundations too of course, and those with special interests like the
Rockefeller Foundation have funded lots of various scientific endeavors, mainly
to do with eugenics and things like that because thatís one of their
specialities there.

Youíll
find that the big companies now like IBM, IBM is a massive player in the
world. As I say, when they have one of their big, big meetings every top
corporation attends it, because IBM sets the lead. In other words, if you want to change society, like
Skinner said, you put something different
in their environment. Thatís how you change people and their
behavior; you modify their behavior, whether theyíre sitting staring at TV
whereas a previous generation were not doing it. Thatís changing
behavior. Now itís the internet and many other gizmos and gadgets to keep
you occupied. So technology will always alter our behavior. And again, it
has to be directed and therefore those at the top direct the funding into those
certain projects because they know where they want to take society.

And
we can pretty well tell today that governments across the world are all on board,
as Iíve said before, for the same global agenda and austerity and bringing down
the first world countries, the more wealthy countries, through taxation and
spreading the wealth, as they call it, the old Marxian concept of
redistribution of wealth, across the world. Itís here already. Itís
been done. And we take it in our stride because most folk now, especially
the young ones who are taught about communism, they all think communismís a
nice sort of idea, they helped a lot of people, and thatís about all they know
about it, they all worked together for something. Well, they were forced
to work together or you were buried under the fields that you were farming.

Anyway,
this article here is about IBM and it says here...

IBM Predicts Mind-Reading Machines (Alan:
...are on their way.)

myfoxny.com / 21 Dec 2011

(A:
Now, when they say something they have gone far with the project already, and
often itís an old thing to them, but itís secret and of course we donít get it
until much, much later. Most inventions are like that. Most real
advances are like that. And weíve already seen, Iím sure everyoneís seen
the different mainstream articles, from Japan and different places, where they
can actually tap into this little lobe of the brain and see what youíre
actually looking at, and put it up on a computer. We also know DARPA was
putting chips in quadriplegicsí brains, years ago, and they could actually put
out a thought that would move the cursor, send emails and things like
that. So now theyíre far, far beyond that because maybe two years ago, or
three, I mentioned an article from Windows, Microsoft, and it was to do with
rather than just make helmets that would interface with the computer they could
actually use the frame of the computer to beam basically waves to your brain,
and massage your brain, as they called it at the time, different parts of your
brain and make you think certain things. But if you go the other way around it
could also pick up what youíre thinking when you think about it. So this
technology is already here.)

The " IBM 5 in
5 " predictions were based on societal trends and research which the New
York State-based company expected to begin bearing fruit by the year 2017.

"From Houdini
to Skywalker to X-Men, mind reading has merely been wishful thinking for
science fiction fans for decades, but their wish may soon come true," IBM
said in its annual assessment of innovations on the horizon.

"IBM scientists
are among those researching how to link your brain to your devices, such as a
computer or a smartphone," it continued. (A: Sweden
was in the lead for this. They used Sweden for many years, even back in
the 70s, where they got lifelong convicts and they gave them deals where theyíd
get some years off or extra perks in prison if they allowed these little
devices to be wired into their brain up and to computers. This is old
stuff.)

IBM gave the
examples of ringing someone up just by thinking it, or willing a cursor to move
on a computer screen.

Biological makeup
will become the key to personal identity, with retina scans of recognition of
faces or voices used to confirm who people are rather than typing in passwords,
the company forecast. (A: I remember when I first saw I
think it was Demolition Man, and the bad guy of course grabs the eyeball
out of his jail keeper, and he uses that to get through the thing. So
there will be horrific stories coming up in the paper in the future where they
just hack off your head and use that too. This is obvious. Real
criminals wonít take long to figure this one out.)

"Imagine you
will be able to walk up to an ATM machine to securely withdraw money by simply
speaking your name or looking into a tiny sensor that can recognize the unique
patterns in the retina of your eye," IBM said.

"Or by doing
the same, you can check your account balance on your mobile phone or
tablet," it continued.

Technology will also
be able to produce electric power from any types of movement from walking or
bicycle riding to water flowing through pipes of homes, IBM predicted. (A:
I guess itís to replace your electricity, which you wonít be able to
afford. So itís all kinetic energy, basically, transferred into batteries
that they go on about it and on about it. But then theyíve got the list
of the other things that are going to change your life, supposedly. And it
will. These things will change culture and behavior and everything.)

And
this article here is about IBM again; thereís two on the same thing. Iíll
put them up tonight and you can read through their ďpeople power will come to
life,Ē it says. Well, when the people do anything by themselves with an
original thought Iíll... Iíll leave the planet.

Hereís
another article here to do with Fukushima because at the time we all watched
those charts coming out, as radiation was getting blown across into Canada and
the States. And for weeks before the governments all pulled them down and
then luckily I found university ones that continued with them and showed them
and then they pulled them down too. But you say, what is all this
radiation going to do to you? Well, this study is...

14,000 U.S. Deaths Tied to Fukushima Reactor Disaster
Fallout

prnewswire.com

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19,
2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An estimated 14,000 excess deaths in the United
States are linked to the radioactive fallout from the disaster at the Fukushima
nuclear reactors in Japan, according to a major new article in the December
2011 edition of the International Journal of Health Services. This
is the first peer-reviewed study published in a medical journal documenting the
health hazards of Fukushima.

Authors Joseph
Mangano and Janette Sherman note that their estimate of 14,000 excess U.S.
deaths in the 14 weeks (A: This is only for 14 weeks.) after the
Fukushima meltdowns is comparable to the 16,500 excess deaths in the 17 weeks
after the Chernobyl meltdown in 1986. The rise in reported deaths after
Fukushima was largest among U.S. infants under age one. The
2010-2011 increase for infant deaths in the spring was 1.8 percent, compared to
a decrease of 8.37 percent in the preceding 14 weeks.

Just six days after
the disastrous meltdowns struck four reactors at Fukushima on March 11,
scientists detected the plume of toxic fallout had arrived over American
shores. (A: So it was in the water and everything.) Subsequent
measurements by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found levels of
radiation in air, water, and milk hundreds of times above normal across
the U.S. The highest detected levels of Iodine-131 in precipitation in
the U.S. were as follows (normal is about 2 picocuries I-131 per liter of water):
Boise, ID (390); Kansas City (200); Salt Lake City (190); Jacksonville, FL
(150); Olympia, WA (125); and Boston, MA (92). (A: So
anyway, itíll continue because one of the reactors especially is still giving
off plumes once in a while and the stuff blows generally towards this
direction, over Hawaii Ė they got badly hit; I know that Ė and then San
Francisco, California, and then up towards the Great Lakes and into Canada.
Thatís the pattern it was taking most of the time.)

And
weíve all heard about the scandals of the money. Well, itís just amazing.
I mean, government now acts like a bank and just dishing out cash or grants to,
again, special interest groups. And thatís why they love sustainability and
everything thatís being promoted now, austerity, sustainability, etc, etc,
greening, and all the big plans that the Club of Rome dreamt up a long time
ago. But the Chevy Volt, I guess thatís what they call the car, the
electric car...

Analyst:
'This might be the most government-supported car since the Trabant'

michigancapitolconfidential.com / Tom Gantert / Dec.
21, 2011

Each Chevy Volt sold
thus far may have as much as $250,000 in state and federal dollars in
incentives behind it Ė a total of $3 billion altogether, according to an
analysis by James Hohman, assistant director of fiscal policy at the Mackinac
Center for Public Policy.

Hohman looked at
total state and federal assistance offered for the development and production
of the Chevy Volt, General Motorsí plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. His
analysis included 18 government deals that included loans, rebates, grants and tax
credits. The amount of government assistance does not include the fact that
General Motors is currently 26 percent owned by the federal government. (A:
Then they show you how they worked all of this out. I think the only
stipulation was that they had to employ so many workers, etc, and it says too,
they may or may not meet the targets for that, for all these different grants.
But there you go. I mean, if you want big business today just start
something thatís involved in sustainability. Whatever the trend thatís
getting pushed is, thatís where you go and youíll get all the money you
want. What a world, eh? What a world.)

And
this article too, from Haaretz Ė itís an Israeli paper; they call it a left
wing one.

Israel officials:

Security Council criticism on West Bank violence
'disgusting'

haaretz.com / 21.12.11 / Barak Ravid

A senior Foreign
Ministry official told Haaretz that what would have been a mundane
discussion... (A: This is about the recent withdrawal of settlers from
one of the banks there, and they burned down mosques behind them
apparently. And itís been quietened down in the media but anyway it says
here...) ...what would have been a mundane discussion turned into an
"attack on Israel," lead by Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin along
with the Indian, Brazilian, and South African representatives.

. . . with European
UNSC [United Nations Security Council] members joining in as well. The only
country reportedly not engaging in the unusual bout of criticism was the United
States.

The discussion's
focal points were the so-called "price tag" attacks against
Palestinians in the West Bank; continued settlement construction; and claims
that Israel refused to provide the Quartet (A: Thatís that four-part
group which Tony Blair is part of.) with its stances on issues such as
borders and security arrangements in a future peace deal with the
Palestinians. (A: And they asked too, why they burned down all
the mosques when those settlers pulled out recently. So Iíll be back with
more after this break.)

Hi
folks, Iím back Cutting Through The Matrix. Now, Iíve mentioned before
about Homeland Security really arming the police in the US, which does not bode
good. It really doesnít. Somethingís coming down the pike.
And looking at Britain and other countries too, that are in an awful mess in
Europe, with all the financial chaos, it doesnít surprise me. And does it
fit in with the agenda, the global agenda? It definitely fits in with
austerity. If youíre going to get brought down from a higher lifestyle to
a much, much lower lifestyle, a lot of people are not going to be too happy
with it at all. Anyway it says...

Local Cops Ready for War With Homeland Security-Funded
Military Weapons

thedailybeast.com / Dec 21, 2011

A decade of billions
in spending in the name of homeland security has armed local police departments
with military-style equipment and a new commando mentality. But has it gone too
far? Andrew Becker and G.W. Schulz of the Center for Investigative Reporting
report.

Nestled amid plains
so flat the locals joke you can watch your dog run away for miles, Fargo
treasures its placid lifestyle, seldom pierced by the mayhem and violence
common in other urban communities. North Dakotaís largest city has averaged
fewer than two homicides a year since 2005, and thereís not been a single
international terrorism prosecution in the last decade.

But that hasnít
stopped authorities in Fargo and its surrounding county from going on an $8
million buying spree to arm police officers with the sort of gear once reserved
only for soldiers fighting foreign wars. (A: But itís happening
all over the place though isnít it?)

Every city squad car
is equipped today with a military-style assault rifle, and officers can don
Kevlar helmets able to withstand incoming fire from battlefield-grade
ammunition. And for that epic confrontationóif it ever occursóofficers can now
summon a new $256,643 armored truck, complete with a rotating turret. For now,
though, the menacing truck is used mostly for training and appearances at the
annual city picnic (A: Thatís where they get you used to all this
stuff, and they put balloons on it, and you forget itís a killing
machine. [Alan chuckles.]), where itís been parked near the
childrenís bounce house. (A: Where else would you put it.)

ďMost people are so
fascinated by it, because nothing happens here,Ē says Carol Archbold, a Fargo
resident and criminal justice professor at North Dakota State University. ďThereís
no terrorism here.Ē

Like Fargo,
thousands of other local police departments nationwide have been amassing
stockpiles of military-style equipment in the name of homeland security, aided
by more than $34 billion in federal grants since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, a Daily Beast investigation conducted by the Center for Investigative
Reporting has found.

The buying spree has
transformed local police departments into small, army-like forces, and put
intimidating equipment into the hands of civilian officers. And that is raising
questions about whether the strategy has gone too far, creating a culture and
capability that jeopardizes public safety and civil rights while creating an
expensive false sense of security.

ďThe argument for
up-armoring (A: They call it Ďup-armoringí...) is always based on
the least likely of terrorist scenarios,Ē says Mark Randol, a former terrorism
expert at the Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan research arm of
Congress. ďAnyone can get a gun and shoot up stuff. No amount of SWAT equipment
can stop that.Ē

Local police bristle
at the suggestion that theyíve become ďmilitarized,Ē arguing the upgrade in
firepower and other equipment is necessary to combat criminals with more lethal
capabilities. They point to the 1997 Los Angeles-area bank robbers who pinned
police for hours with assault weapons, the gun-wielding student who perpetrated
the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, and the terrorists who waged a bloody
rampage in Mumbai, India, that left 164 people dead and 300 wounded in 2008.

The new weaponry and
battle gear, they insist, helps save lives in the face of such
threats. (A: So they donít see it as militarizing.
Theyíre the only ones who are blind I guess. Indoctrinationís awfully
good for them isnít it? See, if you join the military too, they change an
ordinary person into a killer. Thatís why you go; thatís what they do;
thatís their job.) ďI donít see us as militarizing police; I see us
as keeping abreast with society,Ē former Los Angeles Police chief William
Bratton says. ďAnd we are a gun-crazy society.Ē

Adds Fargo Police
Lt. Ross Renner, who commands the regional SWAT team: ďItís foolish to not be
cognizant of the threats out there, whether itís New York, Los Angeles, or
Fargo. Our residents have the right to be protected. We donít have everyday
threats here when it comes to terrorism, but we are asked to be
prepared.Ē (A: So itís sad, itís a sad situation when the
culture goes this way; itís militarized. But then again, weíre all militarized
by the movies and television serials that they put on all the time.)

This
next article is about Novartis. Now, Novartis I think did the same thing
last year Ė they put this out every year Ė how theyíre preparing a plant for
the next pandemic. And Iíve said before, I mean, what department of
government is Novartis? This private pharma, you know, is now an agency
of government? Because government now is, again, throwing cash out like
crazy at these organizations, these pharma companies, and making 10-year deals
for flu shots and so on. Itís great business isnít it?

Novartis plant preparing for next pandemic

Newsobserver.com / JOHN MURAWSKI

HOLLY SPRINGS --
Pharmaceutical giant Novartis on Monday declared its $1 billion vaccine
production plant, the first such facility of its kind, ready to inoculate
Americans against the next global pandemic outbreak. (A: When
was the last one?)

Gleaming in the
outskirts of this small community, the sprawling laboratory is more than four
years in the making. It is designed to supply emergency vaccine to one in every
four U.S. residents during a pandemic (A: I guess you draw straws,
eh?), an event so unusual that only four have swept the globe in the past
century, most recently in 2009.

The facility
produced its first three batches of pandemic flu vaccine Friday, about 6.5
million doses of the watery-looking stuff in pre-dosed glass vials ready for
injection, all designated for the U.S. emergency stockpile.

It's the
nation's first mass-scale plant that makes vaccines from animal cell culture
rather than chicken eggs - a considerable advantage if an avian flu outbreak
were to kill off the chickens that lay the eggs needed to make vaccines, said
Vas Narasimhan, president of Novartis Vaccines USA, based in Massachusetts.

About 400 scientists
and other specialists work here, a workforce that's expected to grow to more
than 500 next year. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services paid $487
million toward the 430,000-square-foot complex as part of a national public
safety program. (A: You know, as I say, if you want a business
you got to look at whatís popular and just dive in there. Back with more
after this break.)

Hi
folks, Iím back Cutting Through The Matrix. Now, John Pilger has been a
journalist for many, many years and heís put out lots of documentaries about,
really, big business and corporations and wars across the world. And heís
presented a lot of good facts too, about how things really work, how things
really work and really all the wars are economic wars, as Marx said. This
article here is to denounce the propaganda thatís being spewed out about Iran
right now. So this is what he says...

Once again, war is prime time and journalism's role is
taboo

johnpilger.com . 1 December 2011

On 22 May 2007, the
Guardian's front page announced: "Iran's secret plan for summer offensive
to force US out of Iraq." The writer, Simon Tisdall, claimed that Iran had
secret plans to defeat American troops in Iraq, which included "forging
ties with al-Qaida elements". The coming "showdown" (A:
...itís called...) was an Iranian plot to influence a vote in the US
Congress. Based entirely on briefings by anonymous US officials,
Tisdall's "exclusive" rippled with lurid tales of Iran's "murder
cells" and "daily acts of war against US and British forces".
His 1,200 words included just 20 for Iran's flat denial. (A: And
thatís how, really, these articles are presented to us. Generally the
articles are just one-liners, you know, because as Jacques Ellul said, he said
the propaganda generally is simplistic,
very, very simplistic stuff. But they also use journalists to write more
complicated stuff and tell more lies, and lots of... just like the CIA have
guys placed around the US media, then Britain has its MI-5 as well, and some
MI-6s included, in ALL television and newspapers as well. So anyway this
guy Tisdall put out the propaganda as they were building up, getting our minds
ready for today really. This is how they do it; they work ahead of time Ė
thatís geopolitics. They also have the social politics where they work on
your minds for years before you even know it. Anyway he says...)

It was a load of
rubbish: in effect a Pentagon press release presented as journalism and
reminiscent of the notorious fiction that justified the bloody invasion of Iraq
in 2003. Among Tisdall's sources were "senior advisers" to General
David Petraeus, the US military commander who in 2006 described his strategy of
waging a "war of perceptions... conducted continuously
through the news media". (A: A war of perceptions...
conducted continuously through the news media... thatís how they prepare you
all, all of you.)

The media war
against Iran began in 1979 when the west's placeman (A: In other
words, the guy they put in power...) Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, a tyrant,
was overthrown in a popular Islamic revolution. The "loss" of Iran,
which under the shah was regarded as the "fourth pillar" of western
control of the Middle East, has never been forgiven in Washington and
London. (A: And thatís true. So true. Itís almost
like the 7th Cavalry, you know. Have you ever read about the 7th
Cavalry, and of course Sitting Bull and the rest of them, and Crazy Horse. They
wiped them out basically as they retaliated against being shoved out of their
homeland. And then years later you find that, who did they put in charge
of escorting all the Indians, in the snow in the winter, to this new
inhospitable place they decided to plonk them on? The 7th
Cavalry, and they wiped them out on the road, because you see their pride had
been hurt for fighting the regiment and they wiped them out at Crazy
Horse. Anyway, thatís by the by. But they never forgive, you see.)

Last month, the
Guardian's front page carried another "exclusive": "MoD (A:
Ministry of Defence...) prepares to take part in US strikes against
Iran". Again, anonymous officials were quoted. This time the theme was the
"threat" posed by the prospect of an Iranian nuclear weapon. The
latest "evidence" was warmed-over documents obtained from a laptop in
2004 by US intelligence and passed to the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA). Numerous authorities have cast doubt on these suspected forgeries,
including a former IAEA chief weapons inspector. A US diplomatic cable released
by WikiLeaks describes the new head of the IAEA, Yukiuya Amano (A:
Heís Japanese.), as "solidly in the US court" and "ready for
prime time". (A: So heís on board with it all.)

The Guardian's 3
November "exclusive" and the speed with which its propaganda spread
across the media were also prime time. (A: So remember, getting back
to what General Petraeus said, right, he says a "war of perceptions...
conducted continuously through the news media".) The
Guardian's 3 November "exclusive" and the speed with which its
propaganda spread across the media were also prime time. This is known as
"information dominance" by the media trainers at the Ministry of
Defence's psyops (psychological warfare) establishment at Chicksands,
Bedforshire, who share premises with the instructors of the interrogation
methods that have led to a public enquiry into British military torture in
Iraq. Disinformation and the barbarity of colonial warfare have historically
had much in common.

Having beckoned a
criminal assault on Iran, the Guardian opined that this "would of course
be madness". Similar arse-covering was deployed when Tony Blair, once a
"mystical" hero in polite liberal circles, plotted with George W.
Bush and caused a bloodbath in Iraq. With Libya recently dealt with ("It
worked," said the Guardian), Iran is next, it seems.

The role of
respectable journalism in western state crimes -- from Iraq to Iran,
Afghanistan to Libya - remains taboo. It is currently deflected by the media
theatre of the Leveson enquiry into phone hacking, which Daily Telegraph's
Benedict Brogan describes as "a useful stress test". Blame Rupert
Murdoch and the tabloids for everything and business can continue as usual. As
disturbing as the stories are from Lord Leveson's witness stand, they do not
compare with the suffering of the countless victims of journalism's
warmongering.

The lawyer Phil
Shiner, who has forced a public inquiry into British military's criminal
behaviour in Iraq, says that embedded journalism provides the cover for the
killing of "the hundreds of civilians killed by British forces when they
had custody of them, [often subjecting them] to the most extraordinary, brutal
things, involving sexual acts... (A: Well you know, societyís had it
as far as Iím concerned. Itís too degraded now.) embedded journalism
is never ever going to get close to hearing their story". It is hardly
surprising that the Ministry of Defence, in a 2000-page document leaked to
WikiLeaks, describes investigative journalists -journalists who do their job -
as a "threat" greater than terrorism. (A: So you
wonder why if there are a few real journalists out there, who you wonder, they
get close to things but they canít go any further. Itís because theyíre
terrified to. I mean terrified to. When the military, and those
guys who send out the guys for the wet jobs, you know they bump you off, are
getting taught that these journalists are a threat greater than
terrorism. And you think youíre in a free society.)

In the week the
Guardian published its "exclusive" about Ministry of Defence
planning for an attack on Iran, General Sir David Richards, Britain's military
chief, went on a secret visit to Israel, which is a genuine nuclear weapons
outlaw and exempt from media opprobrium. Richards is a highly political general
who, like Petraeus, has worked the media to considerable advantage. No
journalist in Britain revealed that he went to Israel to discuss an attack on
Iran.

Honourable
exceptions aside - such as the tenacious work of the Guardian's Ian Cobain and
Richard Norton-Taylor - our increasingly militarised society is reflected in
much of our media culture. Two of Blair's most important functionaries in his
mendacious, blood-drenched adventure in Iraq, Alistair Campbell and Jonathan
Powell, enjoy a cosy relationship with the liberal media, their opinions sought
on worthy subjects while the blood in Iraq never dries. For their vicarious
admirers, as Harold Pinter put it, the appalling consequences of their actions
"never happened".

On 24 November, International
Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the feminist scholars
Cynthia Cockburn and Ann Oakley, attacked what they called "certain
widespread masculine traits and behaviours". They demanded that the
"culture of masculinity should be addressed as a policy issue".
Testosterone was the problem. They made no mention of a system of rampant state
violence that has rehabilitated empire, creating 740,000 widows in Iraq and
threatening whole societies, from Iran to China. (A: In other words,
no itís not. Itís geopolitics and big business.) Is this not a
"culture", too? Their limited though not untypical indignation
says much about how media-friendly identity and issues politics distract from
the systemic exploitation and war that remain the primary source of violence
against both women and men. (A: ...and all children Iíd add to
that as well.)

So
they can distract you, again, with special interest groups and get past
actually mentioning the actual core of the problem. And to tie in with
this weíve got...

Rioting arsonists could be shot by police, review
finds

(A: Now, we
all remember the riots in England this year and nobodyís ever come out and said
what really clinked it off and why it spread. Was it a flash mob through
their cell phones, what was it? Something else was behind this to make
this happen at this time. Anyway, I was waiting to see what was going to
be the outcome of it, because nothingís done except for a reward, you
see. Itís like a sacrifice; a sacrifice, religiously, is always to get
something back. You see.)

Rioting arsonists could be shot by police, review
finds

Arsonists
attacking commercial properties with links to people's homes could be shot by
police during future riots, an official review of police tactics has
recommended.

telegraph.co.uk / 20 Dec 2011

The use of firearms
could be justified given the ''immediacy of the risk and the gravity of the
consequences'', legal advice published in the review said.

Plastic bullets and
water cannon could also be used by officers facing riots similar to those seen
this summer, the review by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC)
added. (A: It sounds awfully 18th century or 19th
century doesnít it?)

Police need to be
better prepared, trained and ready to protect the public if they are to improve
their response to similar scenes of violence and looting in the future, the
review found.

Now
you tie that in with whatís coming down the pike, when every country is
broke. Broke because of all these political globalist policies, like
creating an EU, a combination of all these countries that eventually are merged
together and then when one area goes down you all got to bail them out, and you
borrow the money to bail them out, then you got to pay all that money
back. Well who pays it all back? The taxpayers pay it, and theyíre
getting poorer and poorer and poorer. And again too, that ties in with the Club
of Rome that talked about this kind of thing. They
had to destroy the first world civilizations basically and bring them down, for
sustainability reasons, they claim. So anyway this article is to
do with now they can use live rounds if they want to the next time thereís a
riot. Now, the riots might be YOU looking for food, in the street, you
donít know. You donít know do you? the way things are going.

Shoot the arsonists: UK cops
to use live rounds during riots? - RT.COM / December, 2011

And
Smart Meters, again this global grid, and theyíve got articles up all over the
place, even IBM I think has got one on it, the global grid. Smart meters
are part of it all too. Itís to spy on your home Ė Iíve read the articles
before Ė it spies on your home, knows exactly what youíre using, when youíre
using it, and technically they can cut the darn thing off thatís being used if
they say youíre using too much; thatís coming down the pike as well. But ever
since they put the darn things in, those who have got them always get a little
chitty sent around from the company that owns them, and owns all your power,
telling you that theyíre going to put your cost of power up by 4 to 8 times Ė I
think it was 8 times in Ontario Ė in the coming few years.

Smart meter technology to drive up the costs of power

DAILYTELEGRAPH.COM.AU / Gemma Jones / December 22,
2011

(A: This is
Australia...) Charging consumers more for electricity during the evening
peak, and less at other times, is among a raft of "policy options"
contained in a discussion paper made public yesterday.

The plan would
involve a statewide rollout of so-called "smart meters", which have
caused anger among some consumers whose bills have risen sharply. Other
proposals put forward in the paper include minimum energy standards for
appliances, rebates and green building regulations.

There is also a bizarre
plan allowing energy companies to remotely control home airconditioners in
high-demand periods in return for a discount at other times - a move experts
say would hit western Sydney hard. (A: So everything is to go
up, you see.)

After the Department
of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency released the consultation paper for a
proposed national energy savings initiative, acting Greens leader Christine
Milne claimed it was "another great Greens idea coming to
fruition". (A: Australiaís the test bed and theyíre going
full-steam ahead with the carbon taxes and so on.)

Smart meters monitor
electricity usage in 30-minute intervals and feed information back to the
energy company.

Theyíve
got 2 or 3 methods of doing it.† It
sends it in microwave, and youíll see a little white stick-looking thing on
your telegraph pole near you, your power coming in, thatís the antenna that
receives it from the meter. And thatís not a directional meter by the
way; it doesnít beam it just to that little stick there. Itís beaming it
all through your darn house as well, and so you should really insulate the
inside of your house where the darn thing is, unless you want to get nuked all
day long every half hour. And itís also FM as well and other, even
broadband; the electricity lines itself, it can use them too. Itís got a
lot more potential built into it, on purpose, for the future, when youíll get
told the next bit of bad news about them too. Thatís how they work, you
see. So Australiaís going full-steam ahead with it.

And
the...

Top U.S. General: (A: Again,
hereís a propaganda piece...)

Military option on Iran 'executable if necessary'

In
an interview with CNN, General Martin Dempsey says miscalculation may draw the
country into a prolonged conflict, which would be 'a tragedy for the region and
the world.' haaretz.com / 21.12.11

So
he keeps it brief, you see, again small clips of propaganda are far better than
a lot of stuff you can actually argue over. You see. So thatís
basically it. And itís a full-steam ahead for Iran and of course Syria is
already falling apart, itís infiltrated to the brim with foreign agents.

And
thereís also an article here about the United Nations, theyíre wanting to get
involved in the US elections. Iíll put that up tonight too. It says
here...

UN to control US elections

patriotsunion.ning.com / Art Phillips / December 18,
2011

This week, when
Attorney General Eric Holder announced his speech on voting rights, the Texas
group True the Vote (A: Itís called True the Vote.) called for a
protest of the event because ďHolder is for NAACP Plans to involve the United
Nations in US Elections.Ē

So
Iíll put that up for you to peruse if you care about it... [Alan
chuckles.] A lot of folk donít really care. I donít think they
would care either, really, eventually what kind of flag is above them, and I
donít really believe in bowing down to flags anyway because your countries can
be taken over so slickly. In a few years itís different all together and
youíre still worshiping the darn thing.

Now...

Bird flu: Research row as US raises terror fears

bbc.co.uk / 20 December 2011

US authorities have
asked the authors of two controversial bird flu studies to redact key details
after a government advisory panel suggested the data could be used by
terrorists. (A: So I guess they told them the steps necessary,
with the genes necessary to add to the virus to weaponize it.)

The papers show how
a bird flu variant can pass easily between ferrets. (A: And of
course they use ferrets apparently for flu tests and so on, and actually to
grow the stuff in as well.)

Editors at the
journals Science and Nature say they will not agree to the redactions until
they are assured the data will be accessible to researchers. (A:
I guess just the bacterial and viral warfare departments want to have power
over it all and knowledge of it.)

A spokesman for US
health authorities said such a system was being prepared.

At least one set of
scientists have already rewritten their paper in light of the recommendation,
Science reports.

Albert Osterhaus
told Science his team "completely disagreed" with the recommendation
of the panel, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity
(NSABB). (A: Thatís bacterial and viral warfare.)

But Mr Osterhaus,
who believes the information should be made widely available, said an editorial
explaining his team's "genuflection" to the panel is a condition of
the paper's publication in Science. (A: Itís so easy to alter
the darn stuff today. Iím not worried about atom bombs. Some
nutcase can do it in their basement probably. Back with more after this
break.)

Hi
folks, weíre back Cutting Through The Matrix and weíve got a caller on from New
York on the line. Itís Katherine. Are you there Katherine?

Karen: Itís Karen. [Caller laughing.]† Hello.†
How are you doing?

Alan: Karen, sorry. Karen... itís my eyes,
my eyes are all a-glazed after looking at this darn computer all day
long.

Karen: [Caller laughing.] Well I appreciate you
trudging through all this bad news so people can, like, learn to see how things
are, the truth. How are you doing?

Alan: Not too bad. Iím trying to... actually
I get a lot of email from people who ask me what the answer is. And my
job is not to give them an answer. If they canít think for themselves
theyíre goners anyway.

Karen: [Caller laughing.] Okay.

Alan: Itís true. Itís true. I mean,
when people ask you what they should do... Itís up to them. They
have a brain, they can see whatís happening, and if they canít get out of the
cities and at least stock up on some food and stuff and prepare for bad times,
then what can you say. I mean, thatís common sense.

Karen: Well those beavers know what to do.
You know, your beavers out there, the ones building the dams. [Caller
laughing.]

Alan: Thatís true. The beavers never sleep
there, and of course theyíre sleeping for the winter now but they almost...
well they did flood the road in the fall there, in the late fall, 3 times, and
of course... well their dam was pulled down eventually.† People donít realize that thatís how the
agencies are in governments, etc. They never sleep. Theyíve got
shifts going around the clock working on whatís next, whatís next, what will
we tell the public next. And thereís enough information out there,
never mind what you can see with your own eyes, happening in society. If
you need to be told what to do, you got a problem. See, most folk really
are quite happy with their present conditions. They adapt, because we are
an adaptable species, and here they are adapting to armored vehicles with big
gun turrets on them and putting them at school events. So theyíre
adapting and they forget what theyíre adapting too.† Yeah.

Karen:
I was just going to talk about propaganda with you but I donít think we have
much time. I was thinking in terms of the King Arthur legends.† And you have Geoffrey of Monmouth, or
however you pronounce that, or Bidť [?] from early times. And you had
someone who was a real historical character probably Welsh or Irish or
something. And I was thinking in terms of like how, you know, it
progressed and you have the Normans that take, you know, this myth and turn it
into the myth of empire with Le Morte DíArthur. And then Tennyson who was
like a cousin or an uncle of Balfour, and then you have, again, when the empire
gets large you have this myth built up again. And the way we look at it, you
know, like if you have the sword in the stone, we see that kind of Disney
version of things when really they might have been referring to alchemy or how
a stone is made and a person who can actually take...

Alan:
Yeah. Youíll find even the stone goes all the way back to Plato and they
talked about a sort of medium, a world medium that went through everything,
everything organic and inorganic, and into the stone. The ancient Greeks
knew even atoms existed; they had the Atomic schools, they called them. I
donít believe they just dreamed that up or knocked their heads enough to find
out that there were actually atoms whirling around in there. Somehow
there was an old technology, an old science that was either rediscovered or
given to a specific few. But the King Arthurís legend is partly
astrological; the zodiacal signs, you always have 12, you know. And of
course Arthur is the bear, Arcturus. And youíll find it goes back to
France; this is where it originated from. And I think they actually got
it from the Middle East even, from the old crusades. But itís about special
people running the world and being the natural lords to rule it, to rule the
world. Itís the same thing as today, the technical society really; thatís
what itís about.

Karen:
Well I want to sneak a Merry Christmas in too. [Caller laughing.]

Alan:
And you too. And have a good one at that. Thanks for calling.

From Hamish and myself from Ontario, Canada, itís
good night and may your God or your Gods GO with you.
